Wraith smiled. Yep...he'll be fine....so long as he keeps out of here... he thought, looking back at the Leader's Den. personally, he enjoyed the solitude of dark places. his side of the den was even deeper than the rest because that meant less light reached it, making it darker, just for the solitude and peace he felt in dark places. but he knew that Snowstar didn't share that opinion of it. and even if he thought it did, his recent moods were enough to prove otherwise. with that, Wraith lay his head on his crossed paws with the intention of resting for an early morning the next day. he began thinking about how he'd plan things the next day...he had had to rush through Thunderclan's territory because of the deteriorating state of Demontalon's foreleg, but again, he had no idea how much of that territory now belonged to Novaclan...
Nightclaw looked up, silently heading towards the Camp Entrance, though he honestly wanted a good night's sleep after having woken up early to please his father. to his disappointment, his father had been so busy he hadn't even had the chance to see him. looking up at the sky, he decided he still had a bit of time to see him before he had to be there for Night Vigil, so he changed direction and headed for his father's den...
Wraith looked up at a faint change of what little light got through the entrance, his amber eyes glinting in the darkness. "I was worried i wouldn't get to see you today, Nightclaw" growled the black tom's voice in the darkness. a smirk came from Nightclaw as he heard his father's words, happy to know he hadn't been forgotten in the chaos of the day. "Wanted to see you at least once today, dad" mewed the younger tom. "Aah...so you still find time for your old tom even in the busiest time of your life....that's reassuring to know. but what about your mother? have you seen her today?" responded Wraith. Nightclaw looked at his paws, somewhat ashamed. "N-no, i don't suppose i have...was so wrapped up with roaming the territory and trying to find possible sources of food, mouse dens and such, for leaf bare...i was so distracted i didn't think of mum at all....or Stormheart or Sunclaw either" he mewled. "Don't worry. i'm sure they'll understand you were busy trying to benefit the clan. You're at an age where it's important to prove yourself to your Clan-mates. show them that you're a vital member of the Clan. just....don't try too hard, alright?" meowed Wraith. Nightclaw smiled. "Absolutely..." responded the younger tom, trailing off for a moment, a conscerned look on his face. Wraith watched expectantly, Nightclaw speaking again a few moments later. "um...are you sure mum won't be upset?". Wraith smiled, happy to see his son actually worried about what his parents thought of him. "Nah. don't worry about it. just don't let it become a habit, alright? of the two of us your mother's the more social. Knowing her, she'd like nothing more than to hear how her kits are doing and how their lives are going" Nightclaw nodded, smiling. "Now, go get to the Camp Entrance for your vigil before Coldeyes throws a fit at you for not being precisely on time. wouldn't want to ruin your reputation for being early now, would you?" meowed Wraith. Nightclaw chuckled. "Hey, if he asks i'll just say 'I was with Shadowsoul'. can't say anything to that, can he?" responded the young Warrior. Wraith chuckled lowly before growling "I don't suppose he could. still, best not to have to say anything in the first place. afterall, what she-cat wants a tom with a reputation for being late?". Nightclaw's ears fell back as he started to paw circles in the floor of the den. "Well, when you put it that way..." mewed the Warrior. the elder tom laughed at the reaction and growled "Then get moving so you don't have to worry about that in the first place!". Nightclaw looked up, as if realising some grave mistake, before heading out of the den, looking over his shoulder and mewing "See you tomorrow, dad.....if i don't fall on my face with exhaustion first". Wraith smirked as he saw his son head off to the Camp entrance, before laying down, letting himself fall asleep...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
